Elza frowned; Ryan was ridiculously fast in order to escape her shadow attack considering that the attack had him completely surrounded. No matter, even if he somehow kept avoiding her attacks she had no intention of letting herself be hit. As soon as Ryan jumped of the tree Elza immediately charged arriving below him and twisting her whole body to slash upwards in a decapitating arc through Ryan's body before he was able to land. Hit 'em fast and hit 'em hard. Keeping Ryan off balance and defeating him as fast as possible was key to keep Meruin's spell from healing him anymore and worse, Meruin joining the fight herself. The wind waves Ryan had already launched swirled harmlessly past her but the angle she was out from her power strike let her seem them whirl around and attempt to attack from behind. However they were to far away to affect her until Ryan dealt with her attack and in addition she was close to the tree now with its large shadow, a definite advantage.
